The year of Tom Dumoulin is well under way, with his solid 4th place in the Tour of Oman. Business as usual for the most part so far this season as Vincenso Nibali announces his return to the podium by winning said Tour. Alberto Contador stretches his legs by winning the final mountain stage in the Volta ao Algarve, with Geraint Thomas securing the overall win. Alejandro Valverde wins the Vuelta a Andalucía with a dominant performance on the final mountain stage of the race.

Paris-Nice gets underway today. Richie Porte, Alberto Contador, or Geraint Thomas are the most likely to win, but all eyes will be on Tom Dumoulin of course. Tirreno-Adriatico gets underway on Wednesday with Peter Sagan, Vincenso Nibali and DIS favourite Thibaut Pinot being the star attractions.
